Since you are new to NoS, I highly recommend you read the NoS Catchphrase glossary at the top of this forum. It is chockful of NoS wisdom, mantras, mottoes, and more to help keep one on track with NoS when diethead/life/stress interfere.

Once again, welcome!

Thanks for the welcomes and advice all im sure this will suit me,i ordered the book last night,but ive started it this morning.As my name suggests sugar is my biggest downfall This must be better than a trad diet.

It's not that it's not sacrifice but it's the most productive necessary suffering you'll ever endure. A poor man's diet if there ever was one. I mean, oatmeal as a default for lunch, for golly's sake. Cheap and simple.

I agree Oolala,These large diet companies are raking in the cash,and long term they dont work,its like a treadmill.This principle is so simple.I had a successful S day yesterday (i had alcohol as an S) .Loving this way of eating,ant this forum is excellent!!

Hi sugarjunkie, welcome, sounds like you're doing well so far! Someone said in another thread recently, it's the only diet where the diet is also the maintenance. (well, something like that) It's brilliant!

What you do to lose the weight is what you do to maintain the weight loss.
